Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go.

The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.

Real friendship, like real poetry, is extremely rare - and precious as a pearl.

There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love.

The language of friendship is not words but meanings

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence.
